Abstract

This paper proposes an efficient handover scheme considering the asymmetric characteristics of macro and pico cells in LTE-A HetNet. The proposed scheme detects a suitable target eNB for handover using a multi-criteria decision making algorithm and the mobility information of user equipment (UE). A prompt handover is triggered for the UE if the received power is too low or the downlink SINR is below a threshold, avoiding radio link failure. The simulation results reveal that the proposed scheme significantly enhances goodput while reducing packet loss and unnecessary handover.
